This is a tactical mistake. They believe that intimidation will stop the protests and energize their base.

They are using the same tactics they used to use in Chicago.

Thing is...Chicago is something like 85% liberal. They are dealing with a different constituency nationwide. More like 50-50.

I hope they keep going with this. And they will because they know no other way.

I agree this is not a tactile mistake. This is how thugs consolidate power - through violence and intimidation.

Obama is a thug calling out his muscle.

Note that in Iran, to beat down the protesters after the election they called on shadow militia groups and not the official law enforcement or military.

We in Chicago know that these intimidation tactics work only in the Obama neighborhood.
The SEIU plunged Zer0’s head into dog doo-doo.

These tactics worked 80 yrs ago and still prevail
in the hard core south side but Chicagoans ,though they vote democrat, do not tolerate thuggish behavior once it is known.

Today street thugs are not nedded the real corruption and bullying occurs at the very top.
